MITO is thy name!
The new Alfa Romeo Junior will be named "MITO"
Despite roots in Naples and racing success across the globe, Milan is the city where Alfa Romeo found its fame. For the Junior, a small catchy name was required, and the desire to combine the historical routes with Alfa Romeo and Milan, plus the direct link with Turin – the home of Fiat Automobiles Group – has resulted in the name of “MITO”.
This short name combines both the cities of MI-lano and TO-rino together, and will adorn the stylish B-segment Alfa Romeo which will fight with its direct competitor, the MINI, when it goes on sale in Italian showrooms in June, with first deliveries scheduled for September.
The Mito will be offered with a 1.4 Multiair engine with 105bhp, accompanied with a 6-speed transmission, as well as the turbocharged 1.4 JTB (Multiair with turbocharger) offered in outputs between 135 and 165 bhp. The range-topping model, which could use the GTA badge, will most likely be fitted with a 1.8 Turbo engine producing 230bhp.
There will also be a diesel offered, fitted with the excellent new 1.6 JTDM 120bhp unit.
